Lawrence's autobiographical novel Sons and Lovers was written in
four drafts between August 1910 and November 1912. During that
period Lawrence's mother died, he broke for the final time with
Jessie Chambers, the original of Miriam, had an affair with Alice
Dax, the main model for Clara, had a year-long engagement to Louie
Burrows, nearly died of pneumonia, gave up teaching, met Frieda
Weekley who was to be his wife and life-companion, and lived abroad
with her in Germany and Italy. When he began Sons and Lovers he was
a schoolteacher in Croydon, South London. Writing after work in the
evenings; when he completed it he was a full-time professional
writer living with Frieda on the shores of Lake Garda. The writing
of the novel and the life on which it was based were closely
intertwined. Moreover, Frieda and Jessie crucially influenced the
writing of the book. In Jessie's case she wrote sections of it
herself as well as well as encouraging Lawrence to make it more
directly autobiographical. In many ways the book is the result of
dialogues with Jessie and Frieda. Jessie was devastated by the
outcome, which she considered a slander and a betrayal. But
Lawrence incorporated her answering voice, as well as Frieda's, in
the text. This book combines biography and textual scholarship to
bring to life the dramatic story of the writing of Sons and Lovers.

Poetry in English since the Second World War has produced a number
of highly original narrative works, as diverse as Derek Walcott's
Omeros, Ted Hughes' Gaudete and Anne Stevenson's Correspondences.
At the same time, poetry in general has been permeated by narrative
features, particularly those linguistic characteristics that
Mikhail Bakhtin considered peculiar to the novel, and which he
termed "dialogic". This book examines the narrative and dialogic
elements in the work of a range of poets from Britain, America,
Ireland, Australia and the Caribbean, including poetry from the
immediate postwar years to the contemporary, and novel-like
narratives to personal lyrics. Its unifying theme is the way in
which these poets, with such contrasting styles and from such
varied backgrounds, respond to and creatively adapt the
language-worlds, and hence the social worlds in which they live.
The volume includes a detailed bibliography to assist students in
further study, and will be a valuable resource to undergraduate and
postgraduate students of contemporary poetry.

What is the opposite of freedom? In Freedom as Marronage, Neil
Roberts answers this question with definitive force: slavery. From
there he unveils powerful new insights on the human condition as it
has been understood between these poles. Crucial to his
investigation is the concept of marronage - a form of slave escape
that was an important aspect of Caribbean and Latin American slave
systems. Examining this overlooked phenomenon - one of action from
slavery and toward freedom-he deepens our understanding of freedom
itself and the origin of our political ideals. Roberts examines the
liminal and transitional space of slave escape in order to develop
a theory of freedom as marronage, which contends that freedom is
fundamentally located within this space - that it is a form of
perpetual flight. He engages a stunning variety of writers,
including Hannah Arendt, W. E. B. Du Bois, Angela Davis, Frederick
Douglass, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and the Rastafari, among others,
to develop a compelling lens through which to interpret the
quandaries of slavery, freedom, and politics that still confront us
today. The result is a sophisticated, interdisciplinary work that
unsettles the ways we think about freedom by always casting it in
the light of its critical opposite.
Duncan Ferguson. David Moyes. Paul McCartney. A father and a son. A
passion for Everton, and a passion for The Beatles. Blues &
Beatles is a story of football and music across the generations,
showing in touching and hilarious detail how a young boy inherited
his father's obsessions - and would one day pass them on to his own
sons. A journalist like his father, Neil Roberts has special access
to his beloved football club, so his heartfelt memoir includes
glimpses within the inner sanctum of Goodison Park as well as every
unforgettable Everton moment since the 1980s, all soundtracked by
the Fab Four. Along the way, Neil meets his heroes - including
musical as well as Everton icons - and reveals intriguing
connections to Dixie Dean and a famous Victorian footballer. But
above all, Blues & Beatles is a story of football and music
shared by father and son. Described by Everton fans' website Blue
Kipper as "a fantastic read [which] covers every Everton 'moment'
from the 70's to date carefully captured in detail."

From great triumphs to great escapes Everton FC On This Day
recounts, in diary form, major events and magic moments in the
club's history. A club which was a founder member of both the
Football League and the Premier League; a club which has spent more
seasons in England's top flight than any other; and a club which
has been Champions nine times alongside the glories of five FA Cup
wins and European successes, to boot. With entries for every day of
the year to document the history of a global name in football, it
records everything from the birth of Everton FC and the club's very
early days as Victorian pioneers, to the emergence of Wayne Rooney
as the latest stellar name to graduate from the Everton youth ranks
in the early 21st Century. It tells the story of Dixie Dean, with
his 60 league goals in a single season and his 37 Everton
hat-tricks. Featuring the likes of Tommy Lawton, Joe Mercer, the
'Golden Vision' Alex Young and the 1960s 'Holy Trinity' of Colin
Harvey, Howard Kendall and Alan Ball. It includes Everton's famous
number nines: not only Dean, Lawton and Young but also Hickson,
Royle and Latchford; Sharp, Gray and Ferguson. It recounts the
highs of League Championship-winning teams and the historic
comeback from 2-0 down to win the 1966 FA Cup Final. It reveals a
club which broke British transfer records, which set standards for
progress on and off the pitch and which became renowned worldwide
for the football produced at the 'School Of Science'. Everton On
This Day covers the ups and downs of a famous football club, and
will tell readers why, as the Evertonians sing: "It's a grand old
team to play for, it's a grand old team to support".
September 1940. A four-year-old London boy gazes at a night sky lit
by burning London. Eighty years later, in another emergency and a
hugely changed world, the same lad is persuaded to write about his
ordinary life that has occasionally been quite extra-ordinary.
Vividly described with much laughter, wit and occasional trenchancy
is a rewarding career in education, great pleasure in the arts and
in sport and all in a world that has now passed into history. In
addition, with often moving directness, the author reveals his home
life which over eight decades has provided a joyful safe haven for
his forays into the world.

The fourteen contributors to this new collection of essays begin
with Ted Hughes's proposition that 'every child is nature's chance
to correct culture's error.' Established Hughes scholars alongside
new voices draw on a range of approaches to explore the intricate
relationships between the natural world and cultural environments -
political, as well as geographical - which his work unsettles.
Combining close readings of his encounters with animals and places,
and explorations of the poets who influenced him, these essays
reveal Ted Hughes as a writer we still urgently need. Hughes helps
us manage, in his words, 'the powers of the inner world and the
stubborn conditions of the other world, under which ordinary men
and women have to live'.

new, and another one-third has been extensively rewritten. Three
long-time FreeBSD project leaders begin with a concise overview of
the FreeBSD kernel's current design and implementation. Next, they
cover the FreeBSD kernel from the system-call level down-from the
interface to the kernel to the hardware. Explaining key design
decisions, they detail the concepts, data structures, and
algorithms used in implementing each significant system facility,
including process management, security, virtual memory, the I/O
system, filesystems, socket IPC, and networking. This Second
Edition * Explains highly scalable and lightweight virtualization
using FreeBSD jails, and virtual-machine acceleration with Xen and
Virtio device paravirtualization * Describes new security features
such as Capsicum sandboxing and GELI cryptographic disk protection
* Fully covers NFSv4 and Open Solaris ZFS support * Introduces
FreeBSD's enhanced volume management and new journaled soft updates

an in-depth study of a leading contemporary, portable, open source
operating system. Technical and sales support professionals will
discover both FreeBSD's capabilities and its limitations.
Applications developers will learn how to effectively and
efficiently interface with it; system administrators will learn how
to maintain, tune, and configure it; and systems programmers will
learn how to extend, enhance, and interface with it. Marshall Kirk
McKusick writes, consults, and teaches classes on UNIX- and
